Did you know: The name Kilimanjaro, of Africa's tallest peak, means "shining mountain" in Swahili, this is due to the once-extensive glaciers which are unfortunately disappearing rapidly each year.
The Koala is not really a bear, but is related to the wombat family, another delightful native of Australia.
Koalas live in eucalyptus gum trees, normally dozing by day and foraging for the leaves at night.
